"W-what?! What do you mean he's not here?!"
Back in the encampment, everyone had woken up early by Radakel's order. His first announcement shocked everyone.
"Please calm down, Hero Amelia," Radakel said, trying to soothe a panicked Amelia.
"I-I won't calm down until I know where Nathan is!" Amelia's voice rang out, loud enough for everyone to understand what had happened, including all her students.
Nathan had disappeared.
"We don't know yet, but I think I have an idea of where he might be," Radakel said, stroking his chin thoughtfully.
"W-Where then?!" Amelia demanded, her expression pale and fearful.
All her students and the knights understood why Amelia was panicked. She cared deeply for her students, and they noticed her anxiety. However, none of them realized how much more scared she was for Nathan than anyone else. She was struggling to control her emotions, but it was hard.
Nathan.
